Talmud zu Ijow 36:27

Rav Jehudah bar Ezechiel¹³⁷He is Rav Jehudah, frequently mentioned in both Talmudim. said, so was my father Ezechiel used to recite for rainfall: May Your Name be magnified, sanctified, praised, and elevated, our King, for every drop that You bring down to us, and you make them refrain one from the other¹³⁸Differently in the Babli 6b.. [As it is said,] for He reduces water drippings; they combine as rain for a flood¹³⁹Job36:27., as one says, the valuation will be reduced¹⁴⁰Lev.27:18.. Rebbi Yudan, the father of Rebbi Mattaniah, said, not only that, but He brings them down in measure, as it is said: Water He determined by measure¹⁴¹Job28:25..” Rebbi Yose bar Jacob went to visit Rebbi Yudan from Migdal. While he was there, rain started to come down and he heard his voice saying: Thousands of thousands we are obliged to thank Your Name, our King, for every drop that You bring down to us, for You do good things for the guilty ones. He said to him¹⁴²R. Yose bar Jacob to R. Yudan from Magdala.: From where do you have this? He said to him: This is the benediction that Rebbi Simon recited for rainfall.

HALAKHAH: “When may one not cut down”, etc. Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappa stated, for carob trees their forming clusters means their sprouting. “Vines when they produce fluid,” Rebbi Jonah said when they flow with water, as you say (Job 36:27): “He draws the waterdrops that distill rain from their mist.” “Olive trees when they have flower buds”, Rebbi Jonah said, when they bring a quarter [qab]. A quarter [qab] of flower buds or a quarter [qab] of olives? Rebbi Jonah said, that means, flower buds which will yield a quarter [qab] of olives.
